Michu would be a good signing for us.

Based on what he's done in the past though. When we played Hull at home last August I couldn't believe how bad he looked and I thought Hull would be relegated after seeing that performance.

The point about how Huddlestone never showed the ball made me remember an observation I made about Westwood the other night. He was constantly making himself free to receive the ball, whether he was facing the play or with his back to the play. It's a role that never gets much praise because there's nothing flashy about it but it's one that I admire. It's pivotal to the play, that player has a huge influence on tempo and possession. It makes such a difference to a side when there's a calm head in the middle, who's always available, who always looks like they have time on the ball.

Oh I agree and it amazes me that clubs (it was West Ham come to think of it) still invest millions in players like him.  I remember him being picked out on MOTD last year for giving the ball away 20 yards into the opposition half and then just about making back into his own half as the opposition scored on the resulting break.

Doesn't sound like he's done too much over the last couple of seasons though. Admittedly he looked the dogs bollox that season at Swansea. I think I'd prefer the up and coming Afobe from Wolves.

When i went to Swansea couple of seasons back when it hammered it down all day i caught a taxi to ground which was driven by a very knowledgable driver on all things Swansea and
he said that the guy would never play for Swansea again (and he hasn't) due to the fact that he is a back stabbing terrible piece of work...and that no club should touch him with the
old proverbial barge pole!!!

He's had some pretty bad injury problems.

There is an article online with Gary Monk sounding very adamant that he's not going back there, putting it politely with 'I think we've moved on as a squad' which to me sounds pretty weak. Perhaps he is indeed an utter shit.

It seems he had to have two operations to sort his ankle.  At 29 he is worth a punt though as he knows where the net is

I'm not sure about the lad from Wolves, he looks like he's a great finisher but without the physical attributes and all round game to play as the central player in a front 3.

If we could get Adebayor signed, I think he'd be ideal in a front three with Ayew and Adama.

Reading between the lines, it would appear Michu is a bad egg and its not worth risking what TS is building by bringing in a player like that. No thanks. Next...

Michu's not really an out and out forward. I also think he's too slow. To be honest I see him as another Santa Cruz.

Definitely.  He's a one season wonder.
